Jury Duty Scam

You receive a call from a person claiming to be a Jury Duty Commissioner (or something similar). They say something like,  " You did not return your Jury Duty forms (paperwork, questionnaire, etc) and you need to appear for Jury Duty. You tell them that you "DID NOT" receive any paperwork and they ask you for your date of birth, social security number (and such) so they can check their database. They then tell you it was a mistake or it has been taken care of, etc.  - and now they have all they need to "STEAL YOUR IDENTITY".  Courts rarely call about this sort of thing, and if they do they already know who you are and have all the necessary info. they need......... WHEN IN DOUBT, CHECK IT OUT.....  don't give your personal information to strangers who call you, for any reason !!!     Sheriff Karl Dailey
